Me and a guitar. I think what I do might be described as "Allegorical American Music." I'm in love with the mystery of three chords, a simple melody and sometimes obtuse lyrics. In this digital world of sampled pure tones and instant "professionalism" these are songs written as simple arrangements for guitar and voice in the American song writing folk tradition. Everything is recorded straight off into a couple of mics with no "fancy" multi-tracking, sampling or "real" production. I hope you might enjoy them. - john ford
Band/artist history
I hate these things. Everyone writes some third person bio about how they are this and that. I'm just a human. I put my pants on in the morning and takes em' off at night.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
I play live nightly in my living room.

Dylan, Woody Guthrie, Bruce Cockburn, Townes Van Zandt, Hank Williams, The Band, T. Bone Burnette, John Prine, Leonard Cohen, Rev. Gary Davis, Lightning Hopkins, Doc Boggs, Tampa Red, my dripping sink... blah blah blah...
